I seem to always live by amazing pizza joints. In Minneapolis I lived by Fat Lorenzo's a favorite of mine and one of my top two pizza places in the Twin Cities. Here in L.A. I am lucky enough to live by The Village Pizzeria whom I think has the best pizza this side of the Mississippi. Yes, it even trumps Fat's.
Being born in the Chicago area, I should like my pizza thick and pan fried in olive oil, but alas I feel when it comes to pizza, New Yorkers have it right, a nice thin pizza that you can fold in half and eat like a sandwich. (I am getting hungry just thinking about it)
Village is legendary here. When I said I was moving to the Larchmont area, the first thing people said to me was "Have you gone to Village Pizzeria?" "Lucky, you are going to live by Village." So, I have found that am indeed very lucky.
My Best Pizza 2006 is Village Pizzeria. If you live in Los Angeles go.

I must take issue with the notion that New Yorkers have it right when it comes to pizza - nothing could be further from the truth. Anyone who has enjoyed an authentic, deep dish pizza, knows that Chicago-style is the bomb.
